The Riddler E3 6a

20m. Climb the right side of the arete, just right of the start of Bat Buttress, to a ledge under the nose. Climb the sharp arete and move left to ‘nostril’ of the nose and arrange protection. Use pockets to pull up and right then compose yourself for the final moves to good finishing holds.

Thought this looked like a bargin for E3, that was until I greased off the final moves onto the nose, caught my heels on the way down and back planted the massive shelf on the rope stretch! next thing i know i'm hanging inverted in my harness wandering what went wrong.I hobbled back to the car bruised but otherwise ok, I vowed to come back and repeat it after brushing the topout .
